  • Raising a child, supporting family and friends in need, being a positive and supporting coworker. I oppose shitty conservative policies that negatively impact others and while I’m not successful in everything I do I have an overall positive impact on society.

    I don’t make apps that suck money out of the childcare system and encourage price fixing. I see that as massively worse than any positive benefits the person who created the app provides to society.

    What benefit do you provide to the world?





  • Calling something the uber of anything is a huge fucking red flag. Uber is well known for exploiting its workers, skirting laws, and other shady practices. Why would we believe this will connect people to quality affordable healthcare?

    This exists to make the Salyer rich. It is not a benevolent setup if she refers to herself as an entrepreneur. This is her inserting herself as a middleman to suck money out of the childcare system. The app already encourages the providers to price their services based on the surrounding area, which is either encouraging them to be underpaid like uber drivers or to inflate prices so Salyer can take a cut, or both. It is already bragging about manipulating prices in that article.

    So many red flags, I just pointed out the obvious.



  • If you have a blood pressure measuring device, follow the directions.

    To ensure it is accurate, take it to a medical professional and ask them if they will help to verify the accurracy or what they advise. One person I know did this and the nurse they saw took the pressure a few times with their cuff, had the person run the machine a few times, and told them how to position themselves for consistency. The nurse was able to confirm the device was a couple digits off but otherwise consistent and gave them person the ranges they should worry about when using the machine.

    The nurse also noted that a precise value is not super important, just whether it is outside a safe range or has large changes in a short period of time because blood pressure changes constantly. Taking it the same way each time is the most important thing to help notice changes over time.


  • In Office Space the main character seems like some kind of analyst, maybe a project manager who makes sure things are getting done as planned and addresses. The other two guys from the office were software developers if I remember correctly. The annoyimg lady answering phones was a receptionist.

    So it varies widely depending on what needs to be done and who it is assigned to. I have worked in the same IT department for over 15 years and had four different positions working with the same large software systems doing very different work (help desk, testing, requirements, project management). I interact with security people, administrative assistants, and even directors as part of the work.

    ‘Office work’ is more of a description of the location and setting than the work itself.

    As a comparison I ran the same all lower case query in bing and got the answer about the movie because asking about a movie is statistically more likely than asking if a human is in heat. Google’a ai is worse than fucking bing, while google’s old serach algorith consistently had the right answers.

    Google made itself worse by replacing a working system with ai.
